Has anybody tried to put on their city more than Kanye over the last decade?

Nah Kanye put on more fags than he did nikkas and that's a natural fact! But to answer your question mister threadstarter I would say that Khaled has did more to put on his city. He helped elevate Ross to that next level and he throws that fakkit Ace Hood on songs that should go to someone that can actually rap.

yeah, Khaled done put on for miami more than any other person did for their city and he's not even from miami.

forgot this:

Do Or Die feat. Kanye West - Higher - YouTube

but i would still say cam'ron. kanye was helping a lot of dudes that already had some level of national exposure get back up. not a knock. but cam made hell rell a name on the east coast. had nikkas checking for bum ass jr writer, and un kasa. dude deserves a medal for some of the dudes he got a check.

you also got this song from the same album.

ye did try to put GLC and really doe on, but i just dont think the rest of the country was feelin them like that. He also had a joint with Kid Sister but she was kind of a half-a-hit wonder.

But Bump J definitely should've blown up . He was basically to Kanye what Snoop was to Dr Dre except Ye wasn't really a household name back then like he is now. But regardless, dude had his songs on video games and even a McDonalds commercial back in the summer of 2005 featured his song. He had mad potential but I think there was some B/S between his indie label and Atlantic which prevented him from progressing. And Not to mention the bank robbery which really set dude back.:smh:

Mikkey Halsted is another artist ye tried to put on but that was wayyyy before he became famous. He ended up getting fukked over at Cash Money though. But thats a whole nother story for another day.

hopefully mikkey halsted comes back with his association with NO ID & his ARTium imprint, the projects he dropped last year :blessed::blessed::blessed::blessed:

I forgot about king louie.

His manager use to manage Ye back in the day so I wasn't surprised that he made it on the album.

Kanye didn't really help them, he just exploits them and then distances himself from them.
